At the University of the Police of the State of Brandenburg the training and further education of all police officers for the entire state takes place.

history
With its re-establishment in 1990, the state of Brandenburg was also faced with the task of adequately training its police to carry out their tasks. In the course of 1991 two educational institutions were therefore created.
At the University of Applied Sciences for Public Administration of the State of Brandenburg (FHöV) in Bernau (1991–1998), the candidates for the higher service of the state and municipal administration studied together with those for the police enforcement service. At the same time, the adaptation training for the administrative employees of the state and the local government took place there.
At the state police school (LPS) of the state of Brandenburg in Basdorf (1991-1998) the training of the middle police force, the adaptation training for all police officers of the state as well as the entire police-related training took place. In addition to face-to-face training for the middle class, advancement training and distance training for the higher class were also successfully offered.
The more and more deepening cooperation between the two educational institutions over the years as well as a reorientation in education and training in the state of Brandenburg led to the merger of FHöV and LPS and the establishment of the FHPol with location in Basdorf (1998-2006).
In connection with the structural reform of the police in 2002, it was decided to relocate the FHPol from Basdorf to Oranienburg. After extensive modernization and new building measures, the FHPol was able to move into its new campus designed according to modern standards in summer 2006. During the National Socialist era, the site was used as a barracks for the Schutzstaffel (SS) and was part of the Sachsenhausen concentration camp complex .
On July 1, 2019, the name was changed to University of the Police of the State of Brandenburg.
